Further we have also opened 39 new branches, taking our total branch count to 700. In H2 we will be adding ~45 more branches, this will include splitting of few branches to better manage the volumes.

Further, our Retail TDs + CASA grew 44% Y-o-Y to ₹ 18,818 crore. Q2FY24 was yet another quarter where we marked ₹300 crore+ PAT. This was supported by our healthy NII growing by 24% Y-o-Y and 4% Q-o-Q. However, Cost of funds remained elevated in the current quarter as well, leading to NIM compression of 43 bps vs last quarter. We continue to stick to our guidance on loan and deposit book growth. Further we are also confident to maintain credit cost below 100 bps.
